Andria's pov
With a water bottle in my hand, I jogged around in my track suit. It's Saturday again and exercise always comes first.
I got a little distracted while looking at a bill board and tripped closing my eyes tightly in fear.
Or maybe I didn't because I felt strong arms on my waist.
Opening my eyes, I met a handsome face looking at me with his bright dreamy eyes. Our bodies were inches apart and I could feel his breathe on my neck.
I blinked severally to ensure this wasn't one of my stupid dreams again.
He let me go with a chuckle and I stood shamefully facing him.
"It's you again!. Are you stalking me?" I angrily asked.
He seemed shocked at my question. "So you remember me?"
Really? How can I forget the one whose face I've been seeing in my dreams. The face of the one who made me speechless at first...
It was the rude guy I met at the coffee store.
"Are you stalking me?" I asked again folding my arms. I gave him a deep stare and he looked away.
"I'm not stalking you. This is just a coincidence, pretty " he smiled mischievously.
"Hey! My name is not pretty" I shouted at him. I just wanted an excuse to make him leave.
His handsomeness was suffocating me already.
"Then what's your name pretty?" He asked leaning towards me. His eyes looking directly at mine.
I felt like I was lost in them and my stomach felt weird. Is this what butterflies in your stomach means? I held my breathe.
Moving back, I shouted at him. "I said my name is not pretty! It's Andria, dummy!"
I threw away my water bottle in anger.
I closed my mouth with my hands realizing what I just did. I did not just give my name to a stranger, did I?
He smiled exposing his teeth. "Nice name...I will call you Ria then"
"Whatever!" I grunted.
"Woah... I'm Leo"
He introduced himself offering a handshake.
I looked at him and walked away. He walked behind me.
"Aren't you going to leave me alone?" I queried shooting bullets at him. He was really getting on my nerves already.
He smiled scratching his hair. Curse his smiles!
"Do you only jog?" He asked instead of answering my question.
I remained silent.
"Have you tried yoga?" He asked again.
I see this guy isn't going to give up easily. I should try to upset him.
"No. Can you now let me be?" I barked.
"It's fun. We can go together." He took my hand unexpectedly.
I'm disappointed my plan isn't working, this guy doesn't look like he's upset with my shouting.
I felt electric signals run up my veins. What's this? I instantly withdrew my hand.
"I don't follow strangers around" I said to him.
"But we're friends, Ria" he replied with a chuckle.
"No we are not" I answered him standing firmly.
"We became friends the very moment you told me your name Ria" He replied looking at me.
My face turned pale. "Do you go around making friends with people?...You could get hurt!" I gave murderous glances.
How can he be so foolish? Making friends with everyone. Even the little friends I made when I was young let me, how much more him?
"I know. I've gone through so many heartbreaks before but it's natural. We can't help who we like." He spoke. I noticed he sounded a little dispirited.
"Where's the yoga place?" I asked looking at him.
Why on earth did I ask that? I must really have lost my senses. Or maybe I just followed him because he had felt the same pain I felt.

Leo's pov
I couldn't believe she was the one standing in front of me.
The rude girl from the coffee store.
I looked at her in my arms and smiled. I studied her face, she was cute and pretty too. Her eyes were closed from fear of falling.
Slowly she opened her eyes and our eyes met. It was a magical experience and I felt like kissing her lips.
Clearly she was confused because I caught her blinking severally. Her expression was funny and it only made me chuckle.
"It's you again! are you stalking me?" She blurted out.
I was shocked. That's the least i expected.
Really? That's the 'thank you' she could have said? I literally saved her from an injured knee and wounded head.
"So you remember me?" I asked her a little annoyed.
She answered back with a question. This girl really is rude but I like her.
"Are you stalking me?" She asked again giving me a deep stare, her arms folded on her chest.
I looked away. Her eyes were captivating and I couldn't control myself.
"I'm not stalking you..this is just a coincidence, pretty" I named her smiling since I didn't know her name.
"Hey! My name is not pretty" she shouted at me.
I think she's annoyed. But I wanted to make her more angry so I called her pretty again.
"Then what's your name pretty?" I asked leaning towards her.
"I said my name is not pretty! It's Andria, dummy!" She blurted out upset throwing her water bottle away.
Me dummy? So rude.
She closed her mouth in shock and her expression made me smile.
"Nice name...I will call you Ria" I liked her name for real. Suits her pretty face.
"Whatever!" She replied.
This girl...
"Woah... I'm Leo" I introduced myself not minding her anger.
I offered her a handshake which she practically rejected walking away rudely.
I followed her. I don't know why but I just did it.
"Aren't you gonna leave me alone?" She fired at me turning sharply, almost crashing on me.
She really looks cute when angry.
"Do you only jog?" I asked staring at her angry face.
She was silent but I remained persistent.
"Have you tried yoga?" I asked again.
"No. Can you now let me be?" she asked harshly, demonstrating with her hands.
"It's fun. We can go together" I grabbed her arm playfully.
"I don't follow strangers around" she forcefully withdrew her hand.
"But we're friends Ria" I told her. I loved the game I was playing and her presence made me strangely happy.
"No we are not!" she replied immediately.
"We became friends the very moment you told me your name Ria" I replied looking at her.
She looked dumbfounded. "Do you go about making friends with everyone?... You could get hurt!"
She was right. She seemed upset the friendship stuff, I don't know why...but off course I'm not stupid to be friend everyone.
"I know. I've gone through so many heartbreaks before, it's natural.. you can't help who you like" I replied reflecting on the past.
I once had a friend who left without saying goodbye.
"Where's the yoga place?" She asked me.
I looked at her thinking it was a Miracle.
